How to make Grails 3 use plural routes by default

Question

So I have a Grails (3.2.4) app, but the routes are all set to be singular names by default. For example:

/product/2
/order/4952

I have managed to change the database table naming to use plural using the following in the Product domain class:

static mapping = {
    table "products"
}

Reading the docs, I also found the following (added to UrlMappings.groovy) to create an alias using plural routes:

"/products"(resources:"product")

But the singularly-named routes end up still available. So either /product or /products can be used. Is there a way to change the default Grails routes to always use plural instead of singular naming convention? That is, a way so I don't have to explicitly write code to define them to be plural.

Answer 1

No there is no way to change the default behavior for url mapping in Grails to use plural without you having to explicitly write code to define them.
